The heart of
Cross traverse
The cross traverse is a modular system for the collision-free transfer of loads between tracks at 90°. It streamlines line logistics, reduces inter-operational times and enables parallel operation of zones. Sturdy running boards, a side-shift trolley and optional automation guarantee precision and safety, while the crosshead car parks build a convenient production buffer.
Made in Romer
Cross traverse
Bottom tank made of chemical-resistant plastic, equipped with a simple grease and sediment separator. Facilitates the disposal of used liquid and protects the system against clogging. Capacity: 25 litres.
Benefits for you
90° transfer between tracks
The cross traverse enables the load to be transferred from one track to a perpendicular track without collision. It connects parallel line zones (e.g. loading-oven-unloading), shortening the path of the workpiece.
Modular cross-bracing
The segment-based layout allows easy selection of beam lengths, support spacing and number of spacer points. Extensions (additional arms, legs) can be added without reconstructing the entire track bed.
Transport rails and suspension points
Running beams with sliding hangers ensure stable guidance of workpieces and fast changeovers. The suspension points can be arranged to suit the geometry of the individual product.
Side shift trolley
The side shift carriage is responsible for precisely 'pulling in' and 'giving up' the crosshead between the tracks. End stops and roller guides ensure smooth movement and repeatable positions.
Connection to cooker / appliance
Special connectors allow the crosshead to be safely inserted into the oven, washer or dryer. The design takes into account expansion compensation and sealing of hot/wet zones.
Traverse car parks (p1/p2)
Parking racks act as a buffer - organising the queue of workpieces, facilitating manual manoeuvres and reducing waiting times. Various types and lengths available to suit the hall layout.
Faster production logistics
The cross divider allows parallel operations on several tracks. It reduces the number of reversals, reduces inter-operational downtime and improves the tact of the entire line.
Matching the details
Adjustable spacing, interchangeable slats and the ability to add intermediate points mean that the same layout will handle short runs and large volumes - without sacrificing transport stability.
Durability and resistance
Highly rigid steel construction, rollers on bearings and working surfaces resistant to process dirt. Finish and materials are selected to suit the working environment (dry/wet/hot).
Traffic safety / Easy service
Mechanical interlocks and limit sensors reduce the risk of collisions. Drop limiters and overhang protection protect the load during manoeuvring. Access to rollers, bogies and bearings without dismantling entire beams. Standardised components simplify maintenance and reduce potential downtime.
Integration with automation (optional)
Possible trolley drive, presence sensors, cycle counters and communication with the host system (e.g. via Modbus). In this way, the system supports data logging and semi-/full automation.
Ergonomic handling
The contoured handles, appropriately adjusted heights and motion guidance minimise operator effort. Manoeuvres are predictable and repeatable.
Scalability of the system
You start with one junction and a car park, and more tracks, branches and lay-back areas are added as required - without changing the main ideas of the layout.
Delivery and installation
Anchoring to the floor, levelling, acceptance and as-built documentation as standard. We offer design support: track routing, capacity selection and flow simulation.
